Assessment scope

Stored-material review date: Not recorded
Original evidence cut-off: 2026-09-07
Scope actually checked: Existing review summaries and stored records of methodological application. Full papers, supplements, registrations, plans and original data were not read.
What the dates mean: This is the date the stored materials were checked, not the date of a new search of the clinical literature.
Population: The question concerns infants receiving vaccination. Hatfield concerns healthy term infants aged 2 and 4 months; Allen concerns ages 2 weeks to 18 months. Vaccine, injection counts, baseline details and detailed eligibility remain unverified by report.
Ingredient, formulation and route: The intervention is clinician-administered oral sucrose. The key positive finding concerns 24% sucrose plus a pacifier; sucking, contact, holding and breastfeeding effects are not pooled as sucrose-only analgesia.
Dose: Hatfield's 24% sucrose plus pacifier 2 minutes before vaccination is distinguished from Allen's 12% sucrose 2mL. Actual volumes, repetition, adherence and detailed amounts in other reports remain unverified. Research exposures are not converted into new use instructions.
Comparator: Hatfield's sterile water, Allen's water and no intervention, and Gad's breastfeeding and control are distinguished. Detailed balance of amounts, contact, sucking, feeding and concurrent care remains unverified.
Measured outcome: The selected question concerns behavioral pain and crying after vaccination. Hatfield's behavioral scores, Allen's crying and Gad's FLACC, crying time and heart rate are separated; pain-specific EEG and spinal reflexes during a different heel-lance procedure are not used as the same endpoints.
Duration: Hatfield concerns the context from 2 minutes before vaccination to 5, 7 and 9 minutes afterward. Measurement times, duration and actual exposure in other reports remain separately unverified. Findings are not extended to repeated routine soothing or long-term effects.
Questions outside this scope: Attributing composite behavioral signals to sucrose alone; Pooling water, no intervention, breastfeeding and different concentrations and ages as the same comparison; Extending vaccination behavioral calming to complete pain elimination or blocked neural nociception; Transferring physiological findings from separate heel lance into direct vaccination effects; Adding denominators across shared reports or creating new effects, intervals, optimal doses or repeated-use instructions

Materials actually read: The complete stored parent Korean and English accounts and bibliography were read. External papers, registration, protocols, analysis plans and support disclosures are unread.
Findings recorded in the stored summary: 100 infants randomized and 83 analyzed, 38 versus 45. Behavioral-pain scores with 24% sucrose plus a pacifier were lower at 5, 7 and 9 minutes; 7-minute means were 3.8 versus 4.8. The account's 17 analysis exclusions are also retained.
Record level: These are stored composite-intervention findings. Original group allocation, exclusion reasons, time-specific variability, denominators and original CIs remain unverified. They are not promoted into sucrose-only contribution, complete nociceptive blockade or current independence certification.
Study overlap and independent replication: The behavioral-pain and crying question and the separate neural-response question share parent reports. Vaccination interventions, controls, ages and denominators are distinguished from separate heel lance. Report slots and family links are not added into new unique trial, participant or independent-replication counts; those totals remain unverified.
